So the PI I have been working with tasked me to add more RAM to the Threadripper Genome Workstation we built back in February.
The RAM arrived today. So popped them right in and BAM works right off the bat. Gotta say Threadripper 128GB memory tuning felt a lot easier than my X99. With XMP they run at 2666 rated speed just fine for 1.2V. Bumping the voltage to 1.35V would allow me to run these Corsair LPX kits at 2933. However since what they do is pretty intolerant of ANY error we decided to run the RAM only at rated 2666.
While I was at it I replaced the stock NZXT X62 thermal paste with Kryonaut. Used TPU's own memory testing app for a quick 4 hours RAM stability test and everything runs just fine. Finally I had a bit fun OCing the 1950X, pushing it to 4.05GHz with 1.4V Vcore. Not too bad.
The workstation is already back to work assembling another genome. Gotta say the TR series is really awesome. Potentially we may be building several more TR based bioinformatics station once Threadripper 2 comes out later this year.
